Another "How's my form" thread

Ok, tell me what i'm doing wrong.

Sorry, picture kinda sucks.

Stop choking the grip, your draw lenght is too long and your bow arm is dropped. When aiming at something low bend at the waist.

I'm shooting at 29in DL. I'm getting a new bow soon so how much shorter should i get?

[Roskoe]

Looks like you should be maybe 1" shorter. Also, your anchor point looks like it's real far back. Shorter DL will help, of course. But you might also consider a release that puts your hand closer to the bow string.

Thanks for the help guys.

[AL... F]

to me your shoulder on your bow arm looks kinda scrunched up and you could extend your bow arm out a little more.this ought to suck up some of that lenght
also looks like you are ducking your head into the bow sights instead stand comfortable and draw then bring the bow up to your eye and line up the sights.

Am I the only one who thinks his daw length may be fine?

If you adjust your release hand forward and acquire the "nose to string anchor" I think you'll see yourself straighten out. That'll extend your grip hand and correct your shoulder. It should also allow you to raise your head up straight rather than bending it forward.

I also think the draw length is probably fine but the form needs work.


You are aiming down at a target and you are dropping the bow arm to do this,that is wrong,you should just bend at the waist and keep the upper body the same as if you are shooting straight out in front of you.


You have your chin shoved down into your chest.


NOW,stand relaxed with no bow in hand,hold the bow arm out in front of you and notice where your head is at.This is probably what is most comfortable and shouldn't vary much when you draw and anchor.


Get erect with the head and get the bow arm up and forget where the peep is at while doing this,you will probably need to move it when you get things lined out.


I agree about the grip and that loop is LONG.

I think you should use a wrest sling, and open your grip.

I agree with Wash.. dl looks ok bou look at his string loop. thats got to be 1"-1 1/4" long. Shorten your loop. As AL F said your head is down. Fix your loop than pull your bow back with your eyes closed, achor ,head up, than open your eyes, I bet you'll find that your peep is going to be too low. Adjust your peep up the string to see your sight and that should fix your head prob. JMO.
